b. 77-78

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

Slur in A1 & GE

Tie in FE (→EE)
..

In FE (→EE) a routine transfer of the slur to the side of noteheads changed the unequivocal slur of A1 into a tie of c1. Unlike in b. 65-66, no attempts were taken to correct that mistake. In the main text we give the unequivocal version of A1 and GE.

b. 78-79

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

A repeated in A1 & GE

A  tied in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

Just like in b. 62-63, we include the tie of A, added by Chopin in the last stage of proofreading of FE, in the main text in a variant form.

b. 78

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

No indication in sources

[cresc.] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding a cresc. marking after b. 62, with which the discussed bar is supposed to be identical. Since Chopin added cresc. in b. 62, its absence here is most probably an overlooked correction of one of a few analogous places, a frequent phenomenon in Chopin's works.

b. 78-79

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

Slur in A1 & GE

Tie in FE (→EE)
..

In FE (→EE) a routine transfer of the slur to the side of noteheads changed the unequivocal slur of A1 into a tie of b. It is noteworthy that in analogous b. 62-63 the same slur of A1 was reproduced in FE correctly, which suggests that the aforementioned place was proofread. In the main text we give the unequivocal version of A1 and GE.
